A Method for the Analysis of African Swine Fever by Viral Metagenomic Sequencing [PDF]
In 2018, there was an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in China, which spread to other provinces in the following 3 years and severely damaged China's pig industry. ASF is caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). Given that the genome of the African swine fever virus is very complex and whole genome information is currently inadequate, it ...

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) for the analysis of viral populations
The development of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies is having a major impact on the genomic analysis of viral populations. Current HTS platforms can capture nucleic acid variation across millions of genes for both selected amplicons and full viral genomes.

VIROME: a standard operating procedure for analysis of viral metagenome sequences [PDF]
One consistent finding among studies using shotgun metagenomics to analyze whole viral communities is that most viral sequences show no significant homology to known sequences. Thus, bioinformatic analyses based on sequence collections such as GenBank nr, which are largely comprised of sequences from known organisms, tend to ignore a majority of ...

An Assessment of Amplicon-Sequencing Based Method for Viral Intrahost Analysis [PDF]
RNA virus features the high per-generation mutation rate, and thus usually exists as a population presenting intrahost diversity. By the aids of deep sequencing and bioinformatic techniques, recent studies have provided new insights into viral intrahost evolution and viral-host interaction.

Viral Metagenomics: Analysis of Begomoviruses by Illumina High-Throughput Sequencing [PDF]
Traditional DNA sequencing methods are inefficient, lack the ability to discern the least abundant viral sequences, and ineffective for determining the extent of variability in viral populations. Here, populations of single-stranded DNA plant begomoviral genomes and their associated beta- and alpha-satellite molecules (virus-satellite complexes) (genus,

Epidemiological data analysis of viral quasispecies in the next-generation sequencing era [PDF]
Abstract The unprecedented coverage offered by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has facilitated the assessment of the population complexity of intra-host RNA viral populations at an unprecedented level of detail. Consequently, analysis of NGS datasets could be used to extract and infer crucial epidemiological and biomedical ...
